I was surfing on Comcast Sports Friday evening had it turned out they had the FIU-Western Kentucky game.
The Panthers dominated Western Kentucky 41-17. It was actually worse than that because FIU had pick-six negated by a very questionable roughing the passer call. Western Kentucky, you remember has a high-octane offense. FIU had five sacks and held WKU to 46 yards rushing. They had pressure on WKU's QB all game.
The C-USA announcers were raving about FIU QB Alex McGough who went 17-26 227 1 TD. McGough has been close to 70% completion rate over his last four games. He repeatedly ran out of WKU pressure. McGough did all this without his top-two receivers. He completed at least one pass to ten different FIU receivers.
The game featured this amazin' fake punt by Western Kentucky.

BYU dominated Hawaii 30-20. Note the Cougars rushed for 285 yards against Hawaii. BYU's rushing total for their last three games was UNLV 263, UMass 46, Hawaii 285.

Old Dominion's bowl hopes were crushed by Middle Tennessee State 41-10.
Temple, on the other hand, became bowl eligible with a 43-22 win over Tulsa.
Vanderbilt beat Tennessee. This was the first time since the SEC began in 1933 that the Vols went 0-8 in league play.
Ohio was upset by Buffalo 31-24.
South Florida lost to unbeaten UCF 49-42.
Georgia Southern won their second in a row defeating Louisiana Lafayette 34-24.
In the first round of the FCS playoffs, two of the three CAA teams advanced. New Hampshire beat Central Connecticut and Stony Brook beat Lehigh. Elon lost to Furman.
